Jack in the Box sells tacos—yes, that Jack in the Box. It’s not exactly a taquería, but at 2 AM, those tacos somehow hit like a Guy Fieri endorsed diner, er… dive. But let’s be real: this is TacoPHX, not TacoUSA, so we have to draw the line somewhere. National chains like Taco Bell, Chipotle, and Café Rio? Not included. Local upstart Backyard Güero Taco, makes the cut. El Pollo Loco? If the 392 locations in California didn’t disqualify them, the two locations in Colorado did.

Now, Filiberto’s… well, that one gave us a real existential crisis. If you’ve spent any time in Arizona, you’ve probably inhaled a burrito the size of a small Hyundai at 3 AM while pretending to study for finals. Filiberto’s is that friend who shows up to every party—you already know what you’re getting, and it’s probably gonna involve extra guac and regret. We’re here for new culinary adventures, so it’s not on the list.

If we missed your favorite taco spot, let us know—we’ll happily stuff our faces in the name of research. After all, we kinda like tacos. A lot.
